Evan's Remains Gameplay

Despite the pixel art of the game, the mysterious island where all the action takes place looks quite beautiful, which can be confusing because the plot details happen to be really dark. During the game, you run, walk, jump a lot, and chat in visual novel style conversation boxes.

Solving the next puzzles involves jumping on the wall with platforms, and as the game progresses, the story moves on. Some of the platforms can throw you into the air, block your path, or teleport you to another location. The puzzles become a bit more challenging with each step, but ultimately solving them is not just about the skill of movement, but rather about logical thinking while overcoming the obstacle.
